...were to drive past Australian science's smartest new toy, it would be easy to mistake the large, circular building at 800 Blackburn Road, Clayton, for just another office complex. But inside, something spectacular is being produced - light a million times brighter than the sun, light to which scientists from around the country are now drawn like moths. They're queuing to use the Australian Synchrotron, the largest such device in the Southern Hemisphere and one of about 40 worldwide. Researchers hope it will provide discoveries and answers across almost every field of science - whether it's seeing how insects...

"What once took me several years to do you could probably do in a few months" at the new facility, Varghese says. Given that the synchrotron has a life span of around 30 years, there's plenty of time, then, for a lot of light - and hopefully a great deal of illumination...

...more exempt from the realization that religion is a human fabrication than any other person, and that her attempted cure was more and more professions of faith could only have deepened the pit that she had dug for herself." Meanwhile, some familiar with the smiling mother's extraordinary drive may diagnose her condition less as a gift of God than as a subconscious attempt at the most radical kind of humility: she punished herself with a crippling failure to counterbalance her great successes...
